(Thank you 'Leng Xing Yue' 9.2, the second Floating Red Tip. Also, I have finally paid off all the chapters I owe this month!)
This was too ruthless! Without even saying a few words, he stretched out his hand and asked for ten million Gold Crystals from each of them. That was ten thousand Orbs of Will!
The nine people who came up to greet him were instantly dumbfounded. Now that they had been handed over to you, who would dare to ask you for them back in the future?
However, they had no choice but to hand it over. They didn't dare to refuse it either. This bastard held the power to decide everyone's life and death. If they offended him now, who knew if he would use his authority to exact vengeance on them in the future? Rumor had it that as soon as this bastard arrived at Traversing Water Palace, he slaughtered over a thousand people from a certain Manor. Not a single one was spared.
One by one, the nine storage rings that Tao Qingli had just distributed to them were obediently placed on Miao Yi's palm.
Ninety million Gold Crystals! Miao Yi immediately tucked it away, not intending to return it to them. The old woman was simply too stingy. They were going to such a dangerous place, yet she didn't even give them a few transcendent artifacts to protect themselves. What was the use of this bit of money? Giving everyone this small amount of money can solve the danger? What a joke!
He suspected that the old woman did not expect them to do anything. Otherwise, they would not have been the only ones to do such a big thing.
Someone else will do all the fighting and killing? Do you really think I'm a fool? It was obvious that the Realm Beyond Heaven still had something up their sleeves. They must have arranged for other people in the dark. Relying on the few of them was simply child's play. They were probably just scouts.
In that case, it would be better for him to keep the money and prepare a few more talismans to protect himself. Presumably, these Manor Heads wouldn't be so poor that they didn't even have money to eat.
"Everyone, return to your respective locations. Make your preparations early!" Miao Yi threw down these words, then charged off on his mount, leaving a trail of dust in his wake.
He didn't even bother to say a few polite words and just took the money and ran away? The nine Manor Lords felt a chill in their hearts. They were actually going to put their lives in the hands of such a person!
The nine of them turned around to look at the Traversing Water Palace at the peak of the mountain. Alas, there was no use complaining about this …
As soon as he returned to Raincloud Manor, Miao Yi leaped off his mount and immediately brought Qian 'Er and Xue' Er to see Yao Ruoxian. When he barged into the courtyard, he saw Charcoal still snoring away under the eaves of the roof. He walked up to him and gave him two hard kicks on his butt. "Damn fatty, get up, stop sleeping!"
However, it was as if it was dead. No matter how hard I kicked it, it didn't respond. The two girls were speechless.
Inside the house, Yao Ruoxian was scribbling and drawing on the table. No one knew what he was drawing, and most people wouldn't be able to understand it. Hearing the commotion outside, Yao Ruoxian lifted his head and saw Miao Yi using such a vicious kick on Charcoal. He glared at him and said fiercely, "What are you doing here again?"
"Old monster! I'm in big trouble this time. My life might be in danger! "Miao Yi barged in without permission.
A mace artifact instantly appeared in Yao Ruoxian's hand. He waved his finger and said, "Who let you in? What does your life have to do with me? Scram! "
Damn it! This is my territory, okay? So what if your cultivation is high? When you're done refining Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei's transcendent artifacts, I'll let those two deal with you! Miao Yi muttered to himself. But then, he realized that something was amiss. He didn't even know if he could make it back from Flowing Clouds Dune Sea alive. If he died in that godforsaken place, where would he get the chance to watch others take care of this old man?
Miao Yi didn't leave. He sighed and said, "I'm really in big trouble now. The higher-ups actually sent me to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea to carry out some stupid secret mission …"
Previously, Tao Qingli had repeatedly told him to kill anyone who revealed this secret without mercy. However, Miao Yi didn't even think twice about it. As soon as he arrived here, he immediately revealed the secret, and to Yao Ruoxian as well. He revealed everything Tao Qingli had told him, not hiding anything from Yao Ruoxian.
Miao Yi didn't care too much. He believed that no one here would reveal this secret. More importantly, he had to make things clear. He knew almost nothing about Flowing Clouds Dune Sea, so he had to ask Yao Ruoxian for guidance. He had already heard from Huo Lingxiao that this old man had once spent time in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. He must have had experience with this. If he didn't explain things clearly, how could Yao Ruoxian give him any guidance? If he made even the slightest mistake, he would be risking his life.
'Risking your life for the Celestial Sage? He doesn't even know who you are. You've been friends with him for a long time, but he has no feelings for you at all. Is it worth risking your life for someone like him? There are millions of subordinates who are willing to risk their lives for him. I'm not the only one! '
When Qian'Er and Xue'Er heard that he was going to Flowing Clouds Dune Sea again, their jaws dropped in shock.
"The Netherdragon Ship? The Netherdragon Ship has appeared again? " The mace artifact in Yao Ruoxian's hand slammed onto the table. He fell silent, no longer showing any intention of making a move against Miao Yi.
Miao Yi asked, "Have you seen it before?"
Yao Ruoxian shook his head and said, "I've heard a lot about it, but I've never seen it before. However, I can confirm that the Netherdragon Ship does indeed exist in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea. The reason why so many people are gathered in that godforsaken place is because of this ghost ship."
Miao Yi walked over to the table and casually pulled out a chair to sit on. He looked at the dazzling drawings on the table, then raised his head and asked, "I heard that the Netherdragon Ship is filled with treasures from the higher realms. Is that true?"
Qian'Er and Xue'Er thoughtfully moved a chair behind Yao Ruoxian as well. Yao Ruoxian had also forgotten to hit Miao Yi, and unknowingly sat down. He slowly shook his head and said, "I've been searching all over Flowing Clouds Dune Sea for a while, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Netherdragon Ship. However, I couldn't even find a trace of it. All I could hear were some groundless rumors, both real and fake. In short, there were all sorts of exaggerated descriptions, making it hard to tell if they were real or not. Many people claimed to have seen it before, but the descriptions they gave were all different. Later on, it was proven that many of them were just bragging to please the crowd. However, there is a possibility that the ghost ship is from the higher realms. As for whether or not it's filled with treasures, that's hard to say. Some say it's empty, while others say it's filled with all sorts of transcendent artifacts from the higher realms. Who knows if it's true or not. "
Miao Yi asked curiously, "Then how do you know that it might be from the higher realms?"
Yao Ruoxian said, "That ghost ship appeared after the Boundless Secular World appeared. This is something that we can be sure of. Legend has it that when it first appeared, there were Six Sages as witnesses. The Six Sages were only able to become Six Sages because they were lucky enough to obtain a cultivation technique from the ghost ship. Rumor has it that Celestial Sage Mu Fanjun and Devil Sage Yun Aotian were originally a couple, and it was because of the item on the ship that they fell out with each other. However, there are also rumors that the Six Sages' cultivation technique came from the Boundless Secular World. Others might not know about this, but I'm afraid the Six Sages themselves are the only ones who know. In short, no matter what the rumors are, that ghost ship appeared after the Boundless Secular World. "
"Ghost ship? Didn't you say it was a dragon ship? "
"I'm just saying. Even though there are many rumors, there are only two that are slightly more reliable. One says that the ghost ship is a transcendent artifact from the higher realms, and that it appears and disappears like a specter. I'm more convinced by this theory. If it wasn't a transcendent artifact, how could such a huge ship be unable to be found with so many people watching it? If it wasn't a transcendent artifact, then what could it be if it wasn't a ghost ship? The other theory is that a group of people chained up by iron chains have been dragging a dragon-shaped ship filled with treasures around the world day and night. I doubt this theory, but there are many who believe in it. "
"Why are there so many who believe in this theory?" Miao Yi asked.
Qian'Er and Xue'Er were also listening intently, their eyes filled with curiosity. Strange things like this would always arouse people's curiosity.
"That was about fifty thousand years ago. The ghost ship appeared again, and it was also that time that most people in the cultivation realm were convinced of the Netherdragon Ship's existence. Before and after that, there were all sorts of exaggerated speculations. Who knows if they really saw it or not? Rumor has it that many people witnessed it, and the Six Sages fought over the treasures on the ship. It was an earth-shattering commotion. Many people wanted to take the treasures on the ship as well, but there was a large group of people chained up by iron chains guarding the Netherdragon Ship. Almost all of those who coveted the treasures were killed, and there weren't many survivors. It seems that even with the Six Sages' cultivation at the time, it was difficult for them to board the ghost ship, and they could only watch as it sailed away. If that's the case, then it doesn't fit with the rumors that the Six Sages' cultivation arts came from the ghost ship. If they couldn't even board the ship, how could the Six Sages have obtained their cultivation arts from the ship before they rose to power? Also, this theory is too ridiculous. How could a large group of people with such high cultivations obediently drag a dragon ship around like slaves? That's why I still believe that the ghost ship is a transcendent artifact. "
Miao Yi pondered for a moment, but he couldn't tell which was the truth. He asked, "In any case, we can confirm that the Six Sages' cultivation arts came from either the Boundless Secular World or the Netherdragon Ship. Am I right?"
"I can be sure of that. Because before this, the cultivators of the cultivation realm didn't even have the concept of keeping believers in captivity and gathering the power of will to speed up their cultivation. That's why the cultivation realm was dominated by those old fogeys at the time. And the cultivation method of gathering the power of will from believers came from the Six Sages, which allowed them to rise to power so quickly. By the time those old fogeys wanted to follow suit and seize the power of will from the world, it was already too late. They could no longer suppress the Six Sages. And such a cultivation method couldn't have appeared out of thin air. Not to mention, it was mastered by the Six Sages at the same time. There's an eighty to ninety percent chance that it's related to either the Boundless Secular World or the Netherdragon Ship. I can't be wrong. "
Pa! Miao Yi slammed the table. "So these are all just rumors. None of them can be verified! Whatever dragon ship or ghost ship has nothing to do with me. It's just that Flowing Clouds Dune Sea is so dangerous. Senior Yao, since you've been there before, why don't you share with me some life-saving experiences? "
Yao Ruoxian scoffed. He originally wanted to ignore Miao Yi and let him enjoy himself, but when he saw the sorrowful gazes of Qian'Er and Xue'Er, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his lips. He glared at Miao Yi and snapped, "Who said Flowing Clouds Dune Sea is dangerous? You've never been there before. How do you know it's dangerous? "
"You can't be serious, right?" Miao Yi stood up and bowed. "I admit that I've offended you in many ways in the past. I hope you'll forgive me for my transgressions. You can't joke about something like this! People will die. How can a place that's universally acknowledged to be dangerous not be dangerous? "
Yao Ruoxian scoffed. "The so-called danger depends on who you're talking about. Cultivators from the Six Nations Administrations will naturally be in danger if they go there. That place is basically a place of exile for cultivators from the Six Nations Administrations. There are countless people who harbor a grudge against the cultivators from the Six Nations Administrations. You're an official, and you're surrounded by officials as well. Naturally, they'll tell you that it's dangerous. Remember, when you get there, don't ever put on airs as a Manor Head. Otherwise, I guarantee that you'll die a horrible death. Also, the people there are crazy poor. Don't ever flaunt your wealth. They'll do anything for cultivation resources. There are no rules to speak of. Just be careful. "
Miao Yi was shocked. "That's not dangerous?"
